Election Debate Visualisation

Rethinking Debates project kicks off with full-length feature on EDV

Earlier this week, EDV was the subject of a full-length feature in the Rethinking Debates project. This is the first of a global series of reports on the impact of technology on the electoral process, launched by Civic Hall, a US-based community centre for the world’s civic innovators.

After interviewing EDV’s PI Stephen Coleman from the University of Leeds, and the OU’s Brian Plüss and Anna De Liddo, Civic Hall’s Civic Engagement Fellow, Christine Cupaiuolo, wrote a great, passionate story that captures the spirit of the project and discusses in detail our research and tools.

The series will continue with stories on debate and technology projects around the world, and a comprehensive report will be released at a conference later this year.
